Thanks man. In full sunshine they do almost appear like regular chrome, but with darker reflections. On a cloudy day they look light gray and in the garage they look like gunmetal. They flip flop depending on the light.

Here's a photo I took with my cell phone the day I installed them, which was an overcast cloudy day, showing how they're a bit darker than regular chrome. The center cap and lug nuts are regular chrome which are noticeably lighter.

No...no TA style hoods unless they are functional. I hate the fake TA hood on the challengers.
Other news..I had to put air in my tires yesterday and found two big rock chips in my front driver side wheel

Just gassed up this morning. Drove to the in-laws last weekend which is mostly highway. Got my best overall MPG for a tank of gas since purchasing the car 2 years ago -- 25.56 MPG. I'm guessing the combo of lowering and adding lighter wheels helped maybe? My previous best MPG for a tank was 24.16 MPG.

2 years ago today I drove Sapphire home from Bowling Green, KY to Nashville, TN! I still feel like a 16 year old every time I fire the HEMI up and stomp on the go pedal. She's held up great with just very minor issues that I've either sorted out already or need to take care of soon. She's got 57,000 miles on her, so spark plugs (16 of them!) and rear end fluid change are coming at 60,000. She still runs like a champ and has impressed me of late with great highway mileage. She's averaging 18.47 MPG overall and has had a best of 25.56 MPG in May of '15 and a low of 14.05 MPG in Sept of '14.
For her birthday I've got something special on the way for her. It should be here early next week and installed hopefully sometime in June.
The day she came home.
How she sits today.

@ going more low. You guys are never satisfied until its dumped to the ground are you?!! I'm really happy with the current springs/shocks. I think the car needs one more thing, then I'm done modding so I can put all my extra mula into paying the car off early. and start saving for a supercharger

She's been through one supercharger purchase with me before. She knows the drill and how disappointed I was afterward. Granted it was an entirely different situation and car (Jackson Racing SC on my '04 Civic Si EP3 installed by an sh*ty shop in AZ) so I can try my best to convince her it'll be different this time. Who am I kidding, she'll never believe me. This could be a lost cause.
